Introduction of the Strilky Ashram
A spiritual leader inaugurates and blesses a new sacred grove for satsang.
"Our yoga people have been in many, many countries: from India, from here in Europe. And from Europe, many of our bhaktas went to other countries."
"I tell you that anytime, if you desire something, if you need something, if something happens, you should come to this place and pray with our mantra. Everything will return to peace and harmony."
The speaker, likely Swami Madhavanandji, addresses a gathering at a newly prepared forest satsang site. He emphasizes the sanctity of the place, its rules of entry, and its power for prayer. He reflects on the ashram's history, its global community of devotees, and the transformative impact of their yoga practice, which leads many to give up meat and alcohol. The talk transitions into a search for the ancient saint Alak Puriji, briefly touching upon associated mythology involving Shiva.
